A blank CD can hold 70 minutes of music. So far you have burned 25 minutes of music onto the CD. You estimate that each song lasts 4 minutes. What are the possible numbers of songs that you can burn onto the CD?

Answer:

The possible numbers of songs that you can burn onto the CD is 11.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total storage capacity of CD =  70 minutes

Storage already used = 25 minutes

Hence, The available storage =  Total available  storage -  Used Storage

= 70 minutes - 25  minutes = 45 minutes

Hence, the CD has 45 minutes storage left.

Now, each song takes up 4 minutes of storage.

[tex]\textrm{Total number of songs possible} =  \frac{\textrm{Total storage left}}{\textrm{Time taken by each song}}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{45 minutes}{4minutes }  = 11.25[/tex]

The number of songs possible = 11.25 ≈  11

Hence, the possible numbers of songs that you can burn onto the CD is 11.
